I’m sure you’ve had all the fun you can handle today, but just in case I thought I’d share these cool games from Orisinal. Created by artist Ferry Halim, the games are beautiful, intuitive, mellow, and addictive. Many of them are accompanied by original music. Most are controlled solely by the mouse; some involve clicking, others just work by moving the mouse around. Each game starts with a brief overview of game play.

(Yes, that is a shot of a pirate-esque game.)

Orisinal has been around for a long time, but I just discovered it via this Ask MetaFilter thread where someone was looking for computer games appropriate for her 84 year-old grandmother. Many of the games seem perfect for all ages, and could be useful for someone who would like to improve mouse dexterity. Or for someone who just, you know, would like to have a little fun!
